Hey, hope I'm not posting something old... I found this little yellow creature in the Kelp Forest. It's in the area with the transport turtle, and he hides mostly in the "labyrinth" area. That guy is very fast, once you spot him he will speed off the screen, so you gotta be fast killing him!! But it pays off, I caught him a couple of times, he dropped of Arcane Poultices, Veggie Cakes and once also Hot Borschts! So rather rare and and valuable items... :) I often spotted him near by the transport turtle where he speeds off to the west ending up in the northern exit of this area. Once he is killed he can be respawned by exiting and reentering the area...
Would be cool to know if he drops any other items than the ones I got. I still need to find a place to harvest special bulbs and red bulbs... Anyone know?

EDIT: Topic Title edited from Arcane Poultice to Hot Borscht, because they're scarcer ;)
-
sometimes I see something around there... I always thought perhaps it was a mystery (that you couldn't do anything about), that would manifest around those blue glowing areas in the background along the wall towards that blocked-off area with the simon-says game. there are a few of those spots.
huh... I've never seen that for more than a split second. Good to know.
-
Wow, very good! Never saw him too!
-
The Yellow sea dragons in Kelp forset drop special bulbs once in a while. But Red bulbs are the real special, I cannot find them anywhere. I found only 5 or so trought the game and used up all to make Borscht. Any ideas?

Wrong topic. Check the Ixi's Treasure Hunt or the Wiki (http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Aquaria) for some places where red bulbs are, but if you have already five, I don't think there are much more...
-
Does he drop cold borscht? That is the only one i'm missing, as I used up all my red bulbs...
-
What do you mean by the "labyrinth" area?
-
Only got the items I mentioned in the first post... Never got a Cold Borscht unfortunately.
Here's a map of the area where I usually find him:

He may flee into the western area with the two spiders, too though. He got caught in a spider web once, heh!
-
I went to the area you described and I caught it a few times. It appears that if I exit via the bulb in the area, the thing will only respawn every other time. So far it's only given me one veggie cake and three Hot Borschts.
By the way, if this thing will give you Arcane Poultices, then you don't really need a hunting ground for Special Bulbs. :)
-
Hahaha....why the heck do you need to make more arcane poultrices? You get at least 5 of them just through normal gameplay! You get 4 in the body alone. Plus how often do you need them? There's other options that are far less costly. Only time I ever used them was against the final boss.
-
Oh I'm just trying to stock up on as much of everything as possible before facing the Creator. I would be particularly happy if I got full supplies of Legendary Cakes and Loaves of Life.
-
I just recognized that the three-eyed monsters also drop Arcane Poultices quite often, so I guess the special thing about them are the Hot Borschts :)
Still this area is a quite good harvesting place for Arcanes :)
-
Problem is, both FAQ tells me that I can pull up Red Bulbs in Kelp. I harvested the leaves like three times including the Sprite Cave but no luck. I really need those to finish my recipe book, and besidess my favourite foods are made of red bulb.
-
Yeah, I never found red bulbs in plants too. I still think they aren't dropping it. I found only 5-6 red bulbs in the whole game, so if you had 5-6 already, chances aren't good to find more...
-
Never got a Red Bulb from plant leaves either. Can't think of any place where they might be, too.
Maybe there are other hidden creatures like this one?
-
That creature so far hasn't given me any Arcane Poultices yet. I would appreciate it if it did. I used them all up making Legendary Cakes.
-
I totally missed out on red-bulb foods, because I used all mine early on in simple foods :( Didn't realize they were special until I had gone 10 hours without finding any more... I think I even used up a Special Bulb that way.
-
Must say I NEVER noticed this creature before, but I also barely spend my time in that area, after I got the green form I kinda wanted to go through things a bit faster, seeing I was already playing for 10 hours.
I also barely got any red bulbs, though I do know that I can get infinite special bulbs somewhere, I think it was indeed in The Body.

Same issue here, never knew that they were in limited supply (anything else so far is not), so I am going to miss out on several recipes.

That's annoying, but see it this way: You don't need them necessarily and so you have more motivation to replay the game. (At least the red bulbs were one beneath other reasons to replay it. :))
-
I the same area, I got an Arcane Poultice a couple of hours ago from one of the 2 monsters which are escorted by a group a small symbiotes.
But I was after Red Bulbs, no luck at all on that.

hmm... I'm not completely sure but the spawn is in the center pathway to the right of the thing with the swarm... and it swims away from you... which means if you go in from the left... for me at least... it trys to turn around or ends up caught up in the stream trying to get through...
-
I found it yesterday and got an arcaine poltice but I am looking for the creatures that I got rubbery meat from, can anyone give me some general pointers in the right direction please?
-
Rubbery Meat is gotten from squids I believe. As for Arcane Poultices, I had like 6 of them by the time I got to the end of the game, and I have a policy to never use full-heal items except against the final boss. Too valuable. I know when I think about it that it's a stupid policy since they're there to be used and what not, but I keep it anyway.

Thank you Glamador, now I have an idea of what to look for as I am getting a bit short of the Tough cakes, and yes I am hanging on to my Arcane poltice also. I feel that if we can survive using the more common good then keep the rarest for when they are desperately needed :D I might never get to the end boss but I will still hang onto it in case :D My jumping skills are terrible lol

I used them liberally whenever I was trying to figure out strategies for beating bosses, and then would go to the save point right before the fight. larder replenished and have the memories of tasty arcane fruit lingering :P
besides tough cake my fav healing cake was tasty I think, the veggie one with the eyeball. all the ingredients are fairly common
-
Tasty Cake is a normal cake with an eyeball, not a veggie one. :)
And you can get Rubbery meat from the small nautilus enemies too, not only from squids/octopusses (though they give more).
-
maybe I'm thinking of veggie with a berry then. I'm sort of waiting to play the game again when the patch comes out ( hopefully sooner than later ;) ) so the recipies are not fresh in my mind atm.
-
Veggie cake + red berry = 2*regen I think. I liked that one too. :)
-
Thank you everyone, I have started to find lots od rubbery meat now, the invisible octopus is a very good source of it :D plus a tenticle lol
